Yes he could do it if you have a DAS/Xentry system that is up to date and that he could do a remote session into. My system was out of date so I dropped it off to him and he was going to update the computer with new software but it needed a new larger hard drive and more memory. I ordered that

Did a remote session with my buddy today to get the “new” ISM programmed. Took some gyrations, had to pay MB for a software image of the car as he didn’t have it for this kind of unique vehicle. $231 so not bad. Got it done, looks good, no faults, will get it installed back on the tranny
